Preview : New Automation Tool - Automation Anywhere

I recently had a chance to preview another automation tool in the market. It is relatively new and not much advertised.I was impressed. Felt very comfortable navigating through it. It seems to be a combination of HP tools like BPT+ QTP + Sprinter (alias manual runner. Yet to be launched) + Web Testing Tool (Still under development). It has multiple features. They also have feature where the nuances of Object properties can be eliminated. Object properties are one of the biggest pain points of QTP.

I still need to do a PoC to realize the exact benefits this tool has over the ones existing otherwise. The first impression however at the macro level was very impressive.The website is very easy to navigate and provides on line solution forums & user forums. Has availability to interact with fellow product users and their product team to learn from their experiences.link to website http://www.automationanywhere.com/products/AAServer.htmfreedownloadable trial version of their tools availablecheck out demo at http://www.automationanywhere.com/lrn/learn.htm
